Now that sounds like the real thing - congrats!

Congrat's Deven!

That is weird though, the whole connection to being a fan of oil, and kind of scary.

 

[Mr Nice]

They forgot to ask for your Social Security number and Bank account/routing number so they can wire you the money directly into your account.

I'd give them that too. I got lifelock(as seen on TV) and they cant scam me

 

[Papa Bear]

It must be legit.... the email address is [email protected].

All huge corps have gmail addresses ...

 

[Mustang2008Z]

Be careful...could be a scam......

 

[Mustang2008Z]

Chevron uses @chevron.com for e-mail addresses for contact...

 

[Mustang2008Z]

That address smells "dead week old fishy" to me....

I work for a Fortune 300 company and I have a gmail account....only thats where I get the emails that I don't want my employer to read.

Congrats on the big $$$$ cash in now before the dollar is worthless

Not that this will be surprising, but the phone # country code +234 is for Nigeria.

And why would a company have an "Alleviate Poverty Award" that gives half a mil to one person? That's like the food bank giving all their food to one person and telling the rest to take a hike.

Very unsuspicious!

I got news for you... Most big corporations are reading everything you surf...

 

[oilyriser]

What would it take to change the country code for Nigeria to 666?

 

[Turk]

HEY - can I have some of the money too?

 

[Kestas]

Once, for fun, I opened an e-mail account for my dog. He got similar mail.

Is your dog living the high life in Las Vegas now?

One time I wanted to sign up for something online, and had to be a real address. They rejected all the fake ones I tried.

So I used my own address, and for the name I put in "Itis Justme". For YEARS after that mail would come to the house addressed to "Itis Justme".

As I recall, Itis Justme never got a pre approved credit card offer. If he did, I would have have signed it and sent it in
